🚂❤️ LET’S TALK ABOUT SHOPPING LOCAL! ❤️🚂
I have a question for all of you, and I genuinely want your HONEST feedback! 👇
When you’re looking for a small, self-serve stand to shop at, what are YOU looking for? 🤔
As a small business owner, one of my biggest priorities is making sure you’re getting fresh, delicious, quality products that are worth every penny you spend!
Personally, when I shop local, I want highly recommended products that I know are fresh and won’t end up getting tossed in the trash because they’ve been sitting on a shelf too long.
At The Confectionery Express, I try to keep as many items as possible in our cooler to help maintain freshness. But let’s face it, some things, like our homemade loaves of bread, just aren’t going to fit in there! 😂🍞
I’m constantly trying to find that happy balance between keeping our stand stocked with a great variety and making sure everything stays as fresh as possible.
So I want to hear from YOU! ❤️
🍪 Do you prefer a stand that’s fully stocked with lots of options, or fewer items made fresh more frequently?
🍞 How important is knowing when something was baked?
🧁 Would you rather see smaller quantities restocked daily?
💰 Does pricing, packaging, variety, or freshness influence your decision the most?
🍓 WHAT ITEMS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?! Are you stopping for fresh homemade breads, muffins, cookies, brownies, cake pops, jams, jellies, or something completely different?
🥧 What products would make you go out of your way to stop at a local stand? Is there something you’ve been searching for that you wish more small businesses offered?
🚂 What makes you stop at a local stand AND keeps you coming back?
I’m not asking just to make conversation. I’m asking because your feedback helps me make The Confectionery Express BETTER! ❤️
I never want someone to spend their hard-earned money supporting my little bakery and feel like they didn’t get the quality they deserved.
I also don’t want to keep making products just because I think they’re a great idea. 😂 I want to stock things that YOU actually want to buy!
So whether you’ve shopped with us before or you simply love supporting local businesses, DROP YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW! 👇👇
Tell me what you love, what you’d like to see more of, and what would make our little stand your go-to stop!
I’m listening, friends! And I appreciate every single one of you who helps this little bakery continue to grow! 🥹❤️
